Missing prototype for pthread_mutex_timedlock causes Oracle/SUN CC to fail on Linux

It seems that CC does not use -D_GNU_SOURCE (see ticket #5937). If I call CC and add -D_GNU_SOURCE manually, then the source file complies without an error, but generates a rather huge warning (see attached file).

I don't know I understand correctly.

Could you send the file where pthread_mutex_timedlock is defined?

It is up to the user to add the -D_GNU_SOURCE manually in your configuration? If yes, which of the warnings are related to Boost.Thread?
